Side Chick Era… Over의 모든 챕터: 챕터 101 - 챕터 110

Theo stared at her in disbelief. "But… you haven't even asked what happened yet!"Sharon replied calmly, "You, too, have never asked what happened—you'd always just decide it's my fault, remember?" She lowered her head, glancing gently at Matty. "Besides... I believe in Matty. He would never hit someone without a reason."She had been looking after Matty for a while now. He was a remarkably bright child, so considerate it tugged at her heart.He wasn't like Theo, who would leave right after dinner with a quick goodbye.Matty stayed behind to help her clear the table and the dishes. During meals, he'd always offer her food first. No matter what she cooked, he praised it without fail, chewing happily with a face full of contentment.Theo, on the other hand, only ever found things to complain about.Just then, Matty's voice pulled her out of her thoughts. "Sharon, I was wrong. No matter what Theo said, I shouldn't have hit him… I'm willing to apologize."Sharon looked down at him.

The children who attended this kindergarten either came from families with immense wealth or wielded significant power. Born with silver spoons in their mouths, they lived cushioned lives, many of them spoiled to the point of being utterly lawless. Young as they were, they already carried the haughty airs of little princes and princesses, looking down on the world with unblinking arrogance.And yet, among all these miniature royals, Theo and Matty stood out—for being the most polite, the most well-mannered.Theo, now and then, still showed signs of pride. But Matty? There wasn't an ounce of pretense in him.Nearly every teacher at the kindergarten liked Matty.When they heard he didn't have a mother, their affection only deepened into quiet sympathy. To them, Matty was an obedient, thoughtful, and unusually bright child—hardly the kind who would lie.So if someone like Matty cared enough to stand up for someone… that person probably wasn't all bad.What's more, everyone knew Th

It was a video from a recent parent-child activity at the kindergarten.Theo had just won first place and was now surrounded by a crowd of excited children. His face glowed with pride, basking in the admiration.One of the kids asked, "Theo, were those your mom and dad who came to play the game with you?"Theo hesitated, then gave a small nod.The children around him gasped in envy."Theo's dad is so cool! He's handsome and looks so powerful—and he's great at games too!""And his mom is so pretty, and she seems really gentle!"The wave of compliments seemed to lift Theo higher and higher. He tilted his delicate chin up, soaking it all in like sunlight.Then another child asked, "Hey, Theo, you never mentioned your mom before. I thought you didn't have one. What does your mom do?"Theo answered with pride, "She's a violinist. She's really amazing. She's going on a concert tour in a few months.""Whoa!" the kids chorused, visibly awestruck. "Your mom is that talented?""No won

Sharon's voice was cold. "That depends on what he's done."Carter's tone grew heavy. "No matter what he's done wrong, he's still your son. Sharon… are you really going to stop acknowledging him?""The one who doesn't want to acknowledge me—is him." Her face was blank. "To him, I'm just an embarrassing mother. Maybe he's better off without me.""So you're really going to keep that scheming boy by your side?"Sharon's expression darkened. "Carter, don't you dare talk about Matty like that. He's only five. How could a five-year-old possibly be scheming? If anyone's being ridiculous…"Her lips curled into a cold smile. "You'd rather believe a five-year-old is full of cunning than admit your precious Kelly isn't as innocent and flawless as you imagined. Carter, that's the funniest thing I've heard all year."Carter's brows furrowed. "We're talking about Theo. Why do you keep dragging Kelly into this?""You were the one who said my relationship with Theo deteriorated because of Matty.

"That kid gets everything," Kelly said softly. "If Theo doesn't get the same, won't he be heartbroken? Theo's no worse than Matty. I don't understand what Sharon is thinking, being so good to a boy who bullied her own son."Theo clenched his fists without realizing it.Yeah. His mom didn't take his side anymore—she was standing with Matty now. The thought only made him angrier.Kelly turned to a nearby waiter. "Could you bring us the same set as that table over there?"The waiter smiled politely and said, "Of course," before leaving.It wasn't long before their table was covered with the exact same dishes as Sharon's. Most were desserts—meant for children.Milkshakes. Cream cakes. Even milk tea.Kelly couldn't help but remark, "I heard the desserts here are the restaurant's specialty. Sharon certainly knows how to treat herself.""We've been here so many times," Theo snapped. "She's never ordered any of this. And she never lets me have any!"Carter looked down at the desserts,
